NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Friday that the Texans are releasing the star defensive lineman, per a source informed of the situation.
Watt confirmed that he sat down with owner Cal McNair, asked for his release, and sides agreed to part ways. The Texans later announced the team and Watt had mutually agreed to part ways. Watt has been actively against the Texans head office for years now and has undercut them at every turn. I get Watt's frustration as the Bill O'Brien years were a disaster by any measuring stick. They had a team on the verge of being a Super Bowl threat and they trashed it because Bill couldn't deal with people and tried to win now to save his job. The reality is that Watt hasn't been dominate for years and has always had massive injury issues. He'll probably end up in Pittsburgh with his brother but what the Steelers need is offensive line help, not another pass rusher who doesn't actually get many sacks. Green Bay is another place that could let him shine but then we'd all get comparisons to Reggie White all year long and I'm not sure I want to hear it. Especially since Watt isn't Reggie. Other Texans Thoughts: - I don't understand the infatuation with Jack Easterby and the influence he has on the McNair family. - I liked the Nick Caserio hiring but he's got a monumental task ahead of him. If he wants to rebuild the Texans from the O'Brien disaster he needs to trade Watson for a haul to get them back on track. Other NFL News: - The Steelers signed Dwayne Haskins. Maybe they wanted him to serve as their scout team QB for Lamar Jackson since neither of them can actually throw the ball. - Ravens CB Jimmy Smith and his family were robbed at gunpoint but everyone is ok. - Maurkice and Mike Pouncey announced their retirements from the NFL. Mike missed all of last year with an injury. - Panthers released released defensive lineman Woodrow Hamilton and safety Natrell Jamerson.
